I have good intentions, especially when it comes to this site and writing in general.I want to share the knowledge I gain each day and am often compelled to throw my opinion out into the aether, whether or not there are any who care about it. Simply put, I'm human and as such communication is important.But it's easy to de-prioritize this sharing for something that's a bit more timely or exciting (oooh shiny!), so my writing withers (both in amount and in skill), replaced by a medium of 140 characters and discussions over lunch or pints. So, to push myself, I've joined Project52, publicly committing to write at least one new article a week for 2010. This doesn't sound like much, but it is a significant goal for me at least. Given the amount of participants (550+), I'm not alone. Anton Peck, the man behind the idea has started a great movement from a single blog post and I'm excited to see it develop.The very fact that so many of us are volunteering and holding each other accountable is what will drive me forward. I debated publishing this post, both because it feels like a cop-out (Starting a project with a post about the project) and because I like the idea of improving without notifying what few readers I have. But, for the same reason I joined the project, I am posting this - I'm going to make it hard on myself to backslide - my goal is out front for all to see.
